Privacy Policy & Other Legal Information
LD Resources Foundation, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the use of the information we collect. All information we collect is confidential. We do not sell or share the data with any other organizations.
Please review the following information to understand how the information you provide will be treated.
1. Information LD Resources Foundation, Inc. collects:
The information gathered by LD Resources Foundation, Inc. falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to LD Resources Foundation, Inc. and (2) tracking information routinely gathered as visitors navigate through our site.
2. Tracking Information:
LD Resources Foundation, Inc. s Web server gathers information about all users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users access most often. LD Resources Foundation, Inc. automatically logs IP addresses, sessions sources, and other data which tracks users access to LD Resources Foundation, Inc.. We analyze these logs for funding purposes as well as system performance monitoring. These logs are analyzed for the overall aggregate trends they reveal about our readers, not for the behaviors of individual users. A listing of such data is provided below.
The Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) of the machine you used to access our Web site*
The date and time you visited
The pages you visited on our site
The brand and version of browser you used, and the type of computer you used.
A list of files you downloaded or viewed
The amount of time you spent viewing or listening to streaming media files
Any errors you encountered
*Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data. Your IP address does not identify you personally. Most Internet Service Providers use a “dynamic” form of assigning IP Addresses. This means that you may have a different IP Address each time you visit LD Resources Foundation, Inc.. Also, many Internet Service Providers, including America Online, use “Proxy servers” which provide even more anonymity for visitors. For example, all visitors accessing LD Resources Foundation, Inc. through America Online will be recorded in our access logs as having the same IP Address.
3. Privacy of Children:
LD Resources Foundation, Inc. s policy is to limit the collection of personal information from children. Before children under the age of 18 may participate in any services requiring registration (e.g., submissions for the KidZone, message boards or other forums), the child must first obtain the parent s permission. If at any time after a parent gives permission, the parent desires to review the child s personal information, request that it be deleted or refuse to allow any further collection of the child s information, the parent may contact LD Resources Foundation, Inc.. Parents may also request the removal of any drawings or writings their child has submitted for publication on our site as well.
LD Resources Foundation, Inc. does not:
collect more information from children than is reasonably necessary for them to participate in activities;
entice children, by the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity, to provide more information than is necessary to participate in the activity; or
share any personal information about children with third parties.
4. About Cookies:
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we invoke a standard feature found in browser software, called a “cookie,” to assign each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of anonymous user ID that resides on your computer. A cookie is a small data file. The cookie doesn t actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration, for example), we won t know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie can t read data off your hard drive, and our cookie can t read the cookie files created by other sites. Our sponsors may also assign their own cookies to your browser to track which ads you have viewed, a process that we don t control.
We use cookies to help us tailor our site to your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service. It is a cookie, for example, that allows you to post messages in the Bulletin Boards area without having to login and give your password every time you come back, even if you ve been away for awhile. We may also use cookies to track the pages on our site visited by our users. We can build a better site if we know which pages our users are visiting and how often.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies enabled to use LD Resources Foundation, Inc.. However, some features of our site will not work properly if you refuse cookies.
5. Information Sharing and Sites Beyond LD Resources Foundation, Inc.:
To make our site more valuable to our visitors, we offer some features in conjunction with other providers. Features, for example, are made available through an affiliate arrangement with Amazon.com. And, of course, our site includes links to a lot of other web sites whose privacy policies we do not control. Once you leave our server (you can tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours. If you can t find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site’s homepage, you should contact the site directly for more information.
6. Security:
All of the information is stored on servers at a location designed specifically to ensure that no unauthorized individuals have access to the server or its data.
